Sec­re­tari­at of the Bun­desrat

Around 200 public servants and employees work in the Bundesrat. They form the Secretariat. The Bundesrat Secretariat is fairly small compared with the administrations in other parliamentary bodies.

The Secretariat’s main responsibility is to provide support in preparing Bundesrat plenary sessions and committee meetings, while also ensuring that these run smoothly. The Bundesrat does not have a separate academic advisory or assistance service for legislative matters.
